I read this tutorial:

... but I have a question. Can I backup my files onto DVDs? I do not have an external hard drive. So while this Ubuntu Live CD is in one drive can I use my other drive to burn the files from my pc? If so, is it complicated or confusing? Do you know of a tutorial?
Thanks for any and all help :)
The only other computer in the house is my boyfriend's rather old laptop and it just doesn't have enough space to backup my files. I do have an old hard drive somewhere which still has xp on it and old files and stuff... is there a way for me to use that to backup the files or no? Sorry, I'm clueless. Other than buying a large external hard drive (can't afford that right now), I think my only option is to burn a bunch of dvds...
First of all, thank you for this, it's saving my friend a few hundred dollars and a whole lot of headache. But I'm stuck. I'm doing the network share option, and I can't get past "connect to server". What exactly do I put in the "server", "share" and "user name" fields? And what password do I use in the screen after that? The one for the comp I am connecting to or the one I am connecting from?
